I live right next door to an old order Amish community. And have many friends in Amish communities around my area. I was wondering how you get away with using a computer. They don’t even permit the usage of an englisher cell phone. If only for a second. We don’t play music when they come over for fear that they won’t come back.

Looking to correspond with Amish. My dream as to visit an Amish community. I’ve read books by Beverly Lewis and others. To live a plain and simple life seems so far from a city I live in. Hope to hear from someone soon.

I read a lot of Amish related books (Beverly Lewis for one), and wonder what you think about the books? All I know is that I wish I had an Amish friend. When I see an Amish family walking through a store, I want so much to say hello, but don’t know if they prefer not to be spoken to by someone not Amish. I am 67….married with six grandchildren. Sure would love to hear from you….sincerely, I would. E-mail or letters. Thanks!

Hi, I have just returned home after spending time in an Amsih community. I love the simple life of the Amish. I am from Canada and would appreciate the joy of having an Amish woman to be a pen pal.

I would appreciate being able to converse with an Amish lady as a penpal. I am 43 and live in South Africa, so I can’t visit any Amish communities. I was radically saved in 2007 and the Lord told me to come out oif the world. I have struggled with this and been ridiculed for my faith, but I have raised my children without TV and other wordly things. I have home schooled my kids, the youngest is 11. My son has now had to go to high school but it is a hard walk because it is a ‘Christian’ school but not in the real sense. He is ridiculed and persecuted for his committment to purity, chastity and Christiian values. My husband is a carpenter. We have three horses that my son and I gently broke in, and oine ex-racehorse we rescued. We would love to build a buggy and start a community here that has the same values, but need help and advice on a number of issues.
